A very good book filled with advice that is practical will certainly give a measure of happiness.

[Pat Morris-jones · Rating 3 out of 5]

A useful book that is prob a 3 and a half. Many ideas are not original, although that doesn’t make them invalid. Also some lap overs with chapters. Other than that it had many interesting points that appear relevant to many peeps, including many for myself. Not sure she has the key to happiness but she can point you in right directions. I guess it was marred for me as it was an audiobook. Usually that can be an advantage but in this case the narrator was so enthusiastic in her delivery that it put me off. Others may love this delivery. A little Aussie centric but that’s because she is one! Makes a change from Euro or America centric. Just didn’t appreciate the narrators speedy delivery. Never mind. Some good pointers. Hopefully I’ll remember them and be happier...

I enjoyed this book immensely and got quite a few tips that I think will help me. Thoroughly recommend this book to anyone who feels they have some improvements to make.....oh and I am off to buy some flax seed oil....after all the cited benefits you can apparently get from this.
